Good morning, Topeka.

Emergency crews responded to a two-vehicle crash on Monday morning at S.W.

29th Street — McAlister Avenue in southwest Topeka, and no injuries were reported — according to officials.

A 19-year-old Silver Lake man, Christopher A.

Frye, died after his Ford F-150 pickup truck left the road and overturned into a ditch in northwest Shawnee County on Saturday afternoon—he was ejected from the vehicle, Sheriff Brian C. Hill said.

The City of Topeka said residents got scam texts saying they owe $6.99 for a parking ticket — real fines are $10 and people should block the number and call 785-368-3111 to check any payment requests.
